So good and bad news... Bad news is i removed the plasti dip today... Good news is i ordered the glossifier already so i'll do it all over and completely with both products next time. The reason why i removed it is because i wasnt happy with my layers. Some spots were thick and others fairly thin. I rushed it and i knew it and i just didnt want to keep adding to it... Plenty left in the can for about 3 more grills.

Sorry folks - just want it on right

UPDATE***

I finally got back to the plasti dipped kazz grill... kept it flat for about 3 weeks and finally got around to using the glossifier on it. I gotta take better pictures and wipe the hand marks off the top of the grill but here is a pic for now. The glossifier actually looks way better in person.

lol ^^^ i go back and forth with that emblem ... i'm stacking for my body kit and then repainting the whole car a diff color so the emblem will get tossed and the grill will be color matched. And still working on the ls430 retro on the side.

I actually used 6 coats and let um all dry in the sun... its a bad pic i'll take more in a few hours.
